Yankee Stadium

quietly in a clubhouse corner during his first month as a Yankee, the year after being traded. Asked by other teammates why he acted so low-key, Damon gestured toward Jeter 's locker not 5 feet away and said, "Are you kidding?" (White). Another good trait Jeter possesses is his ability to only say nice things about people. He never talked bad about anyone whether the person deserved it or not. Jeter could act arrogant or do and say whatever he wants, but he always kept true to his laurels. People wonder what lies beneath his cool and constructed facade. Jeter’s teammates simply say that he puts on no facade and does not want the fame or money to change him. (White) Jeter claims that he played for respect, “This year, a lot of kind things have been said to me,” Jeter said. “That’s what you play for, that’s what you try so hard to earn — respect. From everyone.” (“Derek Jeter Has Earned Universal Respect during His Hall of Fame Career”). In his last year, Jeter 's campaign slogan created by his fans was “Re2pect” and it payed homage to all the incredible things he has done and the respect he has shown others. Jeter has inspired many generations by the way he lives his daily life, which makes him a cultural icon. His sportsmanship inspired kids to do the classic Jeter move at shortstop or coin the phrase of “play the field like Jeter.” Kids of all ages aspire to play the game of baseball like him. Adults, especially yankee fans, also wish they were like and respectfully look…

I noticed in the Yankees game how their was a well balanced mix of men, women, and children, as well as a balanced mix of races; however the race mix was not as evenly spread as the gender mix. A factor in this is due to the racial diversity of the Bronx, and that allows fans from all walks to connect to the racial diversity that makes up the Yankees team. Relating race to socioeconomic status, I noticed how the black and hispanic population also increased as you rose higher within the stadium.…

altering how I view history. What I figured is the changes didn’t require explanations because people today experience the changes, especially people living during these periods and now. Another book published by this society conveys tremendous progress comparing then to now. In 2009, Yankee Stadium: 1923-2008 depicts how far this stadium and the baseball has come. As described in the other books, Yankee Stadium contains a collection of pictures with captions. However, the dedication caught my…

football outings at the Stingray Stadium. The ethnicity of the Los Angeles region shows that whites are majority 's and coming along behind the Whites are the African- Americans. The ethnicity, income, and the average age made us…

separated to be properly disposed of later on. From the amount of trash that I picked up I learned that the trash disposed on the ground was a collective effort. In the span of ten hours I managed to fill two bags with trash, one bag with recyclables, and pick up about ten cardboard boxes. The trash that had been dispersed around this area also spoke very poorly about Missoula 's trash clean up and sporting events. Much of the trash found were related to beer bottles and glasses from the stadium…

With a background that includes swaying palm trees and the San Gabriel Mountains there is no other ballpark that you could be at other than Dodger Stadium. It’s the third oldest ballpark behind Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, but Dodger Stadium looks as if it is one of the newest stadiums in baseball while keeping its classic charm. Dodger Stadium was originally to open in 1961 but landslides and lawsuits delayed construction by a year. On April 10, 1962 the Los Angeles Dodgers played their…

I am overcome by the memories of coming to the ballpark as a kid. I take my lap around the entire stadium. It is very dimly lit in the tunnel around the field. Thousands of people are flying by. As they pass it seems everyone has something different. I see an ice cream sundae, that was made in a baseball helmet. There is so much ice cream, an enormous amount of peanuts, and a mountain size pile of whipped cream so high that it seems taller and heavier than a small child. I look along the walls…

thoughts on the second half of the game. However, despite the second half disappointment, the trip was a success. Not only did my grandson who is a big LSU fan get to see the campus and attend a game in Tiger Stadium, I had a whole day and night to pick on and aggravate my beautiful granddaughter. Life does not get much better than that! Our seats in the stadium were located just above cloud level. My acrophobia, which usually kicks into high gear on the first wrung of a ladder, never…

Two authors, William Moller and Maya Angelou, both have similar themes throughout their narratives. Moller expresses his disagreement with stereotyping athletes in modern American sports such as baseball. Angelou concentrates on the bias and stereotyping of different races in modern sports. Both authors have comparable views on sports with common themes such as stereotyping, respect towards athletes, and viewing an athlete as a hero. William Moller opens his short story “We, the Public, Place…

echos around the stadium as the crowd begins to cheer almost at once. Everyone looks to the person standing next to them with hands held high screaming at the top of their lungs and jumping in rejoicement. Although there are people from many cultures and all different walks of life, so many different emotions, senses, and feelings are experienced at a baseball game that brings everyone together. The crowd of the stadium is what brings it to life. In one section you may have the businessmen who,…
